Module Devkit_core.Lwt_utilSource

Various utilities for use with Lwt.

Sourceval with_count : int ref -> 'a Lwt.t -> 'a Lwt.t
Sourceval timely : Time.t -> ('a -> unit Lwt.t) -> 'a -> unit Lwt.t
Sourceval timely_loop' : ?immediate:bool -> Time.t -> (unit -> unit Lwt.t) -> unit Lwt.t

timely_loop' ?immediate period f run f every period seconds; run immediately if immediate is true.

Sourceval timely_loop : ?immediate:bool -> ?wait:unit Lwt.t -> Time.t -> (unit -> unit Lwt.t) -> unit Lwt.t

timely_loop' ?immediate ?wait period f run f every period seconds; run immediately if immediate is true; stop when wait thread terminates.

Sourceval ensure_order : 'a Lwt.t -> 'b Lwt.t -> 'b Lwt.t

ensure_order t1 t2 cancel t1 when t2 terminates.

Sourceval suppress_exn : string -> (unit -> 'a Lwt.t) -> unit Lwt.t -> 'a Lwt.t

suppress_exn name cleanup t wait for t to terminate, suppress any exception, and call cleanup () afterwards.

Sourceval action : string -> ('a -> 'b Lwt.t) -> 'a -> 'b Lwt.t
Sourceval action_do : string -> (unit -> 'a Lwt.t) -> 'a Lwt.t
Sourceval async : (unit -> unit Lwt.t) -> unit

same as Lwt.async but also cancels task on Daemon.ShouldExit

Sourceval idle_check : interval:Time.duration -> (unit -> unit) * unit Lwt.t

idle_check ~interval is a pair (stamp,wait) where you use stamp: unit -> unit to indicate activity, and wait : unit Lwt.t is a promise that resolves if there's been no calls to stamp during an interval.

This is typically used to manage a background task (e.g., periodically fetching data from a remote source) based on whether there is ongoing activity (e.g., whether the data is being used in the UI).
